The financial data exhibits a consistent upward trend in current assets over the five-year period. Both the reported current assets and the adjusted current assets follow a similar trajectory, indicating stability and reliability in adjustments.

Current Assets
Current assets increased steadily from approximately 3.51 billion US dollars at the end of 2017 to around 6.90 billion US dollars by the end of 2021. This represents a near doubling over five years, signifying growth in liquid and short-term asset holdings.
Adjusted Current Assets
Adjusted current assets mirror the trend displayed in the reported current assets, with values slightly higher each year. This suggests minor upward adjustments were consistently applied, possibly for revaluation or to reflect more accurate asset liquidity. The adjusted figures also rose from about 3.52 billion in 2017 to about 6.91 billion in 2021.

The overall pattern indicates strong asset growth and an increase in short-term resource availability. The close alignment between reported and adjusted values points to sound accounting practices with minimal discrepancies. This growth pattern could reflect positive business expansion, improved asset management, or favorable market conditions supporting asset accumulation.

The analysis of the financial data spanning from December 31, 2017, to December 31, 2021, reveals a consistent upward trend in the total liabilities of the company over the five-year period.

Total liabilities
The total liabilities increased steadily each year. Beginning at approximately 3.55 billion US dollars in 2017, total liabilities rose to about 3.82 billion in 2018 and further to around 4.21 billion in 2019. The upward trajectory continued with total liabilities reaching close to 4.92 billion in 2020, culminating in a significant increase to approximately 6.21 billion by the end of 2021. This pattern indicates a growth in the company's obligations over time, with the most notable annual increase observed between 2020 and 2021.
Adjusted total liabilities
Adjusted total liabilities, which may account for certain recalculations or exclusions, also display a steady increase over the analyzed period. Starting at about 3.29 billion US dollars in 2017, this figure rose incrementally each year to roughly 3.45 billion in 2018, 3.73 billion in 2019, and 4.38 billion in 2020. The adjusted liabilities increased more markedly in 2021 to approximately 5.36 billion. The growth in adjusted total liabilities parallels the trend observed in total liabilities, reflecting expanding financial commitments after adjustments.

Overall, the persistent rise in both total and adjusted total liabilities suggests expanding financial leverage or increased borrowing by the company. The more pronounced increments between 2020 and 2021 point to a potentially accelerated accumulation of liabilities in the most recent year of the data span. This pattern warrants further investigation into the company's capital structure, debt management strategies, and the factors driving these increases to assess potential impacts on financial stability and solvency.

The financial data over the five-year period reveals distinct trends in the company’s debt, equity, and total capital, both reported and adjusted.

Total Reported Debt
This metric shows a gradual increase from 2,381,940 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 3,105,876 thousand US dollars in 2021. The increase is consistent, with notable growth between 2019 and 2020, indicating a rising reliance on debt financing over the period.
Total Reported Equity
Equity has experienced a substantial upward trend, rising from 3,351,574 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 6,304,641 thousand US dollars in 2021. The growth accelerated notably between 2020 and 2021, suggesting an increase in retained earnings, capital injection, or valuation improvements.
Total Reported Capital
Reported total capital, representing the sum of debt and equity, has steadily grown from 5,733,514 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 9,410,517 thousand US dollars in 2021. This reflects the combined effect of increases in both debt and equity, showing an overall expansion of the company’s financial base.
Adjusted Total Debt
The adjusted total debt mirrors the reported debt closely, increasing from 2,429,040 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 3,205,950 thousand US dollars in 2021. The adjustment slightly raises the debt levels, but the upward trend remains consistent, indicating increased financial leverage.
Adjusted Total Equity
Adjusted equity reveals a strong upward trend from 3,627,293 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 7,181,237 thousand US dollars in 2021. The pace of increase is significant, particularly in the final year, confirming the trend observed in reported equity but on a larger scale.
Adjusted Total Capital
This measure also reflects steady growth from 6,056,333 thousand US dollars in 2017 to 10,387,187 thousand US dollars in 2021. The adjusted total capital growth rate surpasses that of reported total capital, highlighting the impact of adjustments applied in financial reporting or valuation methodologies.

Overall, the data indicates consistent growth in the company’s capital base, driven primarily by significant increases in equity. The debt levels have also grown steadily but at a more moderate pace relative to equity. The adjusted figures confirm and slightly amplify these trends, suggesting that the adjustments made lead to higher valuations of both debt and equity components. The financial posture over the period suggests an expansion strategy supported by increased capital investments and moderate leverage.
